I agree education is a big problem in Brazil. IMO, the main issue is this culture around not asking questions so it won't look like you don't know something. As a consequence, getting involved and going into depth to really learn something just isn't that much encouraged because it would require, well, asking many many questions!

It's not only that.

There's the "how do you dare question our assuptions" culture, that's way too widespread. There's a disdain for any display of competence, and punishment of competent people. There's a huge focus on learning theories, with no care at all about empirism.

Brazilian education is completely fucked up.
